Head Start has served more than 40 million children over the past 60 years. Now the federal government is proposing harmful deregulation efforts, putting this
vital program at risk! Tell Congress to call on HHS to by rescinding the proposed rule changes!

These changes will harmfully:
-reduce child care access
- increase classroom sizes
- lower protections for children w/disabilities
- diminish teacher qualification standards

Tell your Congressmember to urge HHS to stop these rule changes and
!

Take Action: https://bit.ly/45pgIA0

The federal government is proposing to eliminate most of Head Start's standards and roll back regulatory rules. If enacted, this move will further exacerbate our nation's worsening child care crisis while spelling disaster for the hundreds and thousands of children and families who rely on Head Star...

When there’s increased wildfire risk, utility companies may need to turn off power as a last resort to ensure public safety. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. 211 PSPS Care Coordination connects utility customers with access and functional needs such as a disability, limited transportation, or other conditions for assistance who reside in high fire-risk areas to valuable resources before, during, and after a PSPS. Call 211 to see if you are eligible.
